Scout, me?
I pick up my cell phone to see the message.
Six o'clock here. DON'T BE LATE! Your uncle loves you. Uncle Bob
I roll my eyes in amusement.
Okay, I love you too.
PS. Ask Martha what time I start tomorrow.
I hear the door followed by my mother's heels echoing with every step she takes.
-I'm going shopping with my coworkers and then to dinner, change and leave- she announces, peeking into my room, and leaves just as she came. I snort.
- Good afternoon daughter, how was your first day? Did you make friends?- I laugh falsely and go back to study for a while more.
I look at the time, half-past five. I leave the notes and run to the closet where I change into some sports clothes consisting of a black sports top, black leggings and a grey sweatshirt and a big pogo stick. I get in a line and grab my gym bag. Finally, I grab my cell phone and keys to leave the house.
I walk into th

BOXER First day of work...bad?
The sound of the alarm clock startles me and I fall out of bed. I get up with a sore butt from the fall. I get dressed in blue jeans and a white sweatshirt. I get in a line and walk out of my room with my backpack on. I have twenty minutes to go so I grab my coffee and put it in a disposable cup to run out. I arrive just in time for my first class and start taking notes like crazy. I spend the morning like that. Now I head to the cafeteria for lunch. -Hey- I hear and turn around to see the waitress from my aunt's cafeteria come running over smiling- Hi, I'm Lilian- she introduces herself. -Hi, I'm Kara- I answer in kind. -Do you mind if I come with you to the cafeteria? she asks. -Of course not! Let's go- I answer and we walk to the cafeteria. -Martha told me you'll be working at Matthew's now. - That's right- I say happily. - Great! Seriously, I love that coffee shop, I've been working there since I was seventeen and it's as i
BOXER Why him?
We spend the road singing the songs that are being played on the radio. Fifteen minutes later we arrive at an old factory, a little far from the city. We park and approach the door where we pass a little squeezed by all the people there. As soon as we enter we see the ring in the center of the factory. It smells too much of alcohol and marijuana. To the right is the bar and at the back there is a corridor where, I guess, are the dressing rooms. -Make bets, ladies and gentlemen!- shouts a man to our left, standing on a platform where people are holding up their bills. Lilian grabs me by the arm and drags me to the bar, she orders two "Bronx" (I don't know what they look like). -Here- she says handing me one, I take a sip noticing that it is sweet but it has vodka in it and I don't know what the sweetness is. I drink the rest in one gulp because it is very good. I order another one and the truth is that it is blue. I drink it just like the previous one. -LADIES
BOXER Joint training? Nooo...
- Why did you take me out of there?- I asked confused. -The devil Campbell is very dangerous, you shouldn't have told him that. -I'm not afraid of him- I say, crossing my arms. -Well, you should be, he's very dangerous- she answers and I snort. We arrive at my apartment. -Thank you for the ride. - It's nothing, I'll see you tomorrow baby- she says and drives off as I enter my building denying amused. I go straight to my room where I put on my pajamas and then to the bathroom where I take off my makeup and brush my teeth. I throw myself on the bed and fall asleep within seconds. *** The damn alarm goes off, making me groan. I turn it off with one swipe and get out of bed like a zombie, thank goodness it's Friday. I go straight to the bathroom where I take a shower without washing my hair. When I get out I look in my closet and decide on a white short sleeve sweater, black jeans, military boots and my leather jacket. I tie my hai
BOXER Dirty old man.
My knuckles are bruised but it doesn't matter. I get into the cafeteria on time. I greet them both and go to the little room where I change. Once changed I leave the room and approach Lilian. -What did Campbell say to you when he kicked us out? -He gave me a "warning" and I gave him another one- she looks at me with wide eyes but before she can speak Martha sends us to clean the tables. We both obey and go to our respective sides. People start to arrive filling the cafeteria pretty fast, this cafeteria is quite well known because the food Martha prepares is the best. Llilian and I go from one side to the other. The only thing I've noticed since I started is that no one is occupying Campbell and company's table. I seem to have summoned them because they appear through the cafeteria door. I roll my eyes again, I don't know how I haven't gone cross-eyed yet, I walk towards them. -Good afternoon, welcome to Matthew's, what would you like- I smile forcedly.
BOXER I don't take no for an answer...and introductions.
Saturday, thank goodness! I get up at half-past eight as I have to be at Matthew's at nine. I take a ten-minute shower. I decide on black jeans and a red top and over it my leather jacket. I put on my beloved military boots. I leave my half-wavy hair loose and grab my stuff to leave the apartment. I arrive at minus five, change and grab a brownie since I haven't had breakfast. *** -There's a party tonight, are you coming- Lilian asks when we leave, "it's at Mike's house, a soccer player," she continues explaining. I shrug my shoulders -that's a yes, I don't take no for an answer- she concludes- I'll pick you up at ten o'clock since it's a little bit out of the center, don't be late baby, bye- she says goodbye like crazy earning the looks of some people in the street, I deny amused and go back home. -I've seen your boxing gloves, I hope you haven't set foot in Bob's gym-she says as soon as I walk in the door. -I'm old enough to go wherever I want, then
BOXER Can't be
P.O.V X I watch as she takes a couple of drinks and then goes to the makeshift dance floor. -Hi- says a squeaky voice, I turn my head to see a blonde poly-blonde looking at me "seductively", I raise my head in greeting and she sits next to me touching my arm. I see Axel going to the kitchen and shortly after Liam proposes me to some twins but I reject his offer, he shrugs his shoulders and goes after Axel to the kitchen. Shortly after I see them leave and followed by her. She goes back to the dance floor and I see a redhead come up to dance with her. I can't deny that she dances very well and I can tell she's made the redhead hot by the way she bites her lip, I roll my eyes, horny. The blonde sits on my lap and starts wiggling her ass on top of me making my friend slowly wake up and even though he wants to deny it Kara helps with that. I watch as she cobra's the redhead and goes to the kitchen I laugh and take a swig of my drink. I see the red-head c
BOXER Don't be a pussy and have dinner...
Sunday goes by too fast and unfortunately it's Monday. I get out of bed wanting to kill someone so I can sleep for a thousand years. I jump in the shower so I can wake up completely. I do my routine and leave the apartment in good time, strange, but true. I walk leisurely until I reach the busy campus. I go straight to my first class without running into Lilian. The bell rings, ending today's classes, thank goodness. I go straight to the cafeteria. -Hello- I say hello to Martha, there are a couple of customers and today I haven't seen Lilian yet, strange. - Hello pretty -she answers me smiling from behind the bar- can we talk for a second?- she asks and I nod a little bit surprised, she leaves the bar and we sit at one of the many empty tables without any problem since the two customers there are already served. - I wanted to tell you that I know we don't know each other for long but I want you to know that you can count on me for anything, okay little girl?
BOXER Dinner
Between Martha and Bob stands one with blue eyes like her mother's. Her blonde hair is in two little pink ponytails that match her little dress. Her blonde hair is tied up in two little pink ponytails that match her little dress. -This is our daughter Kaia, Kaia, this is Kara- Martha introduces us. I duck as she comes running towards me. She jumps on top of me and I catch her in time so she doesn't fall. -You're the one who always talks my daddy- she says excitedly and smiles at me showing me some small dimples and her teeth, which have two spaces because of the fall of these making her even more adorable. -How old are you?- I ask her smiling while she has her little hands on my cheeks, she pulls one of them away and shows me four little fingers indicating her age. -I'm a big girl now- she answers proudly. I laugh a little and hold her better. -Of course I am- I nod and put her down. She doesn't let go and as soon as she touches the floor she
